Roll says... 6: Clearing a debt.
"Clearing a debt to another cat," you say. "Or, walking away from doing that. I still have tonight to finish everything up."
"What'd you do?" Tuna asks, tilting his head.
"Just saved a life, is all." You lick at a tough spot on your shoulder. "I paid for someone's safety in prey- food."
"That was really nice of you," he says. "Why'd you do that?"
You look up at him. "Because that was the right thing to do?"
Tuna hums to this, thinking. You resume grooming.
"You're not from around here, huh?" he says after a few minutes. "No one here'd do that just because it was the right thing to do. That's what I hate about this place. No one puts any value on a life that isn't their own."
A lolling neck and blank eyes flash across your mind.
"No," you reply bitterly. "They don't."
"I don't want to kill anybody, myself," Tuna says. "Even if I had to, I don't think I could do it. Could you?"
No, I couldn't.
Maybe. I don't know.
If I had to, yes.
